A GHOST GYMNAST!!

On a rainy night, in late October, a gymnast was carefully practicing, and putting the finishing touches on her floor routine. The coach decided to trust the gymnast and left her alone at the gym. She was down to her last tumbling pass, she began to run and all of a sudden she heard a crack of thunder that threw off her concentration, as she flipped she knew something had been wrong from the beginning she messed up, not making the second flip all the way around she landed on her head and snapped her neck. Since the coach had left her there all alone, she laid there and died slowly. The next morning the coach arrived at the gym to find the car still there and the gym unlocked. Since the gymnast was supposed to lock the door when she left the coach began to get chills and her hair stood on end. As she walked into the building she saw her prized gymnast laying on the floor, rushing out to her she realized that she was dead and had been for a while. The coach wept at the sight of the poor girl crumpled on the floor. As the days went on after the incident, the coach couldn't help but to feel as if she was not alone, as if she was being watched from a far in the gym. One day as she was leaving she felt the room get very cold, as she began to leave she felt the air around her go with her as she walked. A little spooked by these activities she began to run, but no matter how fast she ran she couldn't escape the feeling. When she finally arrived to the car she looked in the window and saw her reflection. Pausing to look further at herself, she realized that she was not alone in the reflection next to her was Lexie, her gymnast she had found days before. Scared, she looked around as if to find Lexie alive again standing next to her. But no one was there. When she looked back in the window Lexie was gone. A little shaken, the coach got in the car and went home. The next morning she came back to the gym. When she arrived there, written in the mirrors of the gym in chalk, was a message that said, "If only you hadn't left me!" The coach, was stunned, she couldn't talk or move and the other gymnasts and coaches didn't understand the message. The coach finally admitted to leaving her alone in the gym, Lexie feeling as if the coach felt guilty enough, wrote another message this one said, "I will go now, but promise me one thing, that you will always from now on take your coaching position seriously and take care of all the other gymnasts." The coach terrified, and filled with remorse agreed and forever more until the day she quit coaching never let a gymnast out of her sight at practice. THE END!
